Tea Boat
Ebony Cha Chuan
A Cha Chuan (茶船, literally "tea boat") is a traditional Chinese tea accessory that serves as a deep tray, saucer, or stand for a teapot or gaiwan. It is used during the Gongfu Cha tea ceremony.
Small, delicate tea boats like this one are often used in the dry brewing tradition instead of large chaban tea trays to minimize heat contact with the table surface. It allows you to create an additional tier on your tea stage or add a spatial accent to your composition, making the brewing process more minimalist and focused.
Crafted from dense dark wood, it is pleasantly heavy and very tactile.
